We have agreed with Cycling New South Wales that we will host a Junior's Track Carnival on Saturday 30th November open to all clubs.

As you can imagine, there will be a fair bit of planning involved. We will put together the programme, in conjunction with CNSW, and will have to provide commissaires (though they will provide the head commissaire).

We have a committee meeting next week on Thursday 3rd October at 730pm. Can anyone who is interested in getting involved please contact me here, or at dulwichhillbc@gmail.com, so I can invite you to the committee meeting to begin discussions.

Following the meeting, and confirmation from CNSW, I will put up more details. No doubt we will need plenty of volunteers for various activities on the day.

Numbers are looking good - definitely over 30 entrants now and probably quite a few more when we get the list from CNSW later today.

We had a planning meeting last night and still need to borrow:- at least one stopwatch (not the windup one I have from my youth, an electronic one)- Marquees or shade tents- a few volunteers. We are allocating tasks now.

Pls email me (address in the newsletter), or PM here or leave a note below.

Looking for a volunteer to help with timing for the u15-17 part of the carnival tomorrow (from 6-8pm). No experience needed, and you just will be required to use a stop watch (there will also be a few people timing with you).

Thanks to everyone who helped or turned up to watch yesterday. The Junior Carnival was well attended, it turned into a gorgeous afternoon and our event was well planned. All round it was a great day and a real credit to the Club.

A full report will no doubt be provided and results and all that stuff.

In the meantime, we are having a debrief asap to document what went well, what was OK and what we learned along the way. We want to do this again and so it's worth documenting how to run a Carnival so that we can replicate and improve.

To that end - if you were there yesterday and want to give feedback, please do it here. While the kudos will be nice, the bits that we can improve will be where the real learning is so don't be afraid to provide those suggestions. We want to hear them!

PS: we got the nicest email from one of the parents last night. It thanked us for being inclusive and having a well-run event. That makes it all worthwhile.

It was a really great day. I think it can only grow and grow from here. Really nice to see people coming from all over the state, plus our own DHBC members coming down. I was actually struck by how many members popped by (& volunteered all day) who don't actually have kids of their own and just wanted to be there to support the champions of the future!

Congratulations to the organizing committee - a special mention to Colin, James, Keith & Eleri -and everyone who helped out on the day.

From my perspective, the highlights were Jamie/Dougie keeping the flow of the event ticking along smoothly and James starting off every race.

Suggested improvements (only because it's being asked for):a/ removal of confusion: clear signage to indicate the location of the sign on desk - there were some people getting to the infield told they needed to get back to the stands (via the tunnel) to register.b/ removal of confusion: establish early if roll out checks were going to be done, or not

personal peeve c/ removal of confusion: establish early which timings were needed for each race type (instead of making it up on the spot)

Thanks and Kudos to James, organising committee and the army of volunteers.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. The organising committee had a proper debrief, followed up on some tasks, are preparing a race manual and asked the DHBC committee to consider doing this more regularly.

Since then I have contacted CNSW and asked for track racing at Tempe to be added to the calendar. More to come!
